I really like how honest your reviews are... And I would personaly love to see a full on review on L'Atessa. It develops beautifully on the skin, getting a lot more creamier, with the other florals showcasing their beauty. It's definitely worth it to check it out.
Ahh brilliant! I've been interested in these scents after seeing them on instagram too, and I ordered a Tango sample from luckyscent yesterday! I like the sound of it😍
Definitely review Hemingway and Russian Tea. I am a huge tea fan and I would love to get your full take on that scent. Hemingway also sounds really nice. I too have been getting into more woody fragrances and it would be nice to see a review from you!
Lol I died seeing this The founder of this fragrance house is our professor at university. I was preparing for my upcoming exam for the exact same course, and suddenly got ur video recommendation from TH-cam. Now u decide study or watching ur video.. obviously I choose you. As soon as I open the the video it’s Masque Milano...N I felt like come on now my professor is giving the exam n I am judging. Glad he passed the exam
So far I've only smelled Russian Tea, and Tango. Russian Tea is on my spring must-have list for sure. Tango is nice, but I don't know if I want a full bottle. Mandala and Monte Cristo sound gorgeous so I'm going to have to sample those too. Nice video!
I did place 2 to help the revenue a little, it does help.. but a few people add 4 Ads in a 10 minute video, so I don't feel too bad for only 2 in half an hour. Depends on the content, most times I won't place any additional ones at all. I never do click bait videos or top 10's and complimented videos, so my revenue from videos is pretty small compared to the other reviewers that get a lot more views than me.
@@FragranceView yes I was so happy to not be interrupted every 90 seconds lol. Sometimes if i see a video have like 6 ads and its only 11 mins or something i won't even watch it lol.
Excellent vid Peter. Well articulated. Really enjoy these overview style videos - keeps things concise. Although, I wonder if you could choose your favourite 2 or 3, give them a full days' wearing and do a quick update at the end of each one? I know each fragrance smells different on everyone, but it might give us some insight into the degree of difference from paper to skin. Fanks!
Thank you! I usually do full detailed reviews of my favourites afterwards later, which is why I don't do that.. but that's a good idea, if I know I am never going to review them fully!
I love these house overviews , so helpful to know where to start. Espically when a house has alot of releases 👍 Really enjoyed tango , definetly a lovely amber & i want to try monte cristo to compare. Russian tea just smells like spring in a bottle to me , definetly want to get around to sampling the rest of the line 👍 Great , comprehensive & fair as always 🙏
Just as an idea it would be awesome if you could start doing single ingredient videos, or "fragrance fundamentals", where you focus on just a single ingredient like ambergris, or rose, or oudh (like you've done), or vanilla, etc. every week or something. That would be an interesting exploration, and be great for making content.
FragranceView this would be really informative, imo. For example- I’d like to know the different types of synth musk/white musk. There’s some that give me a headache and some I can’t even smell. And it seems to be used in almost everything nowadays. Some other examples would be the different types of vanilla, Omani Frankincense vs Ethiopian, the scent profiles of various sandalwoods(including synthetics like javanol). Or why Iris has such a wide scent profile? Another would be the various types of bergamot. I’ve read it can be derived from a few different citrus peels(grapefruit, lime, etc), but it’s also it’s own fruit (bergamot orange)? Bergamot has always confused me. Would also love to delve into violets/violet leaves. That’s an ingredient that really intrigues me
FragranceView and while we’re on topic- why is it perfumes/perfume suppliers don’t make or use Fraser Fir, only the less pleasant Douglas fir, balsamic fir, etc? Fraser Fir is by far the best smelling Fir, but an essential oil doesn’t exist (to my knowledge).
@@FragranceView That's a good point. It could be both. I was just thinking about how little I know about different fragrances, and figured it would be cool if someone could do an in depth "review" about ingredients. But perhaps this can also be a lot more complex. Just to expand on the original idea you can not only reviewing how the ingredient smells, but also perhaps talk about the history of it, how its sourced, where its sourced, who does it best, comparing different companies that distill that ingredient, and the nuances/differences between them. I think there's a lot that you can play around with and make it as complex or as simple as you want to, but in general just something that gives more information about a particular ingredient.
Interesting that they price their fragrances individually. I blindbought a bottle of l'attesa and tried a few other samples from this house. Russian tea smelled quite nice to me👍
Thanks for that very thorough first impression review. I notice that lucky scent has the samples for these fragrance at a pretty cheap price. If you have a minute, go to their website and read the description of Times Square - LOL! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
@@FragranceView I know, I thought - 'that's a really awful way to describe a fragrance you're trying to sell' -- LOL! We haven't gotten to your new post on your other channel - but we will in the next couple of days. Looks interesting!!!
I do love these full house reviews... Great descriptions. That Montecristo sounds like its worth checking out. Your reaction to mandala made me wonder what you would think of Interlude man...I am not a huge fan of Amouage, but that one is unique, if not exactly wearable...- oregano and heavy incense but more head shop/olibanum/opoponax than church/frankincense.
FragranceView Ha. Yeah, I hear ya. Speaking of scrubbing that one off...the experience I had with it was when someone sent me the last bit of a sample of it a few years back. I didn’t know anything about it so I sprayed a few sprays and almost choked myself out. I had to shower and throw my shirt in the laundry. I still smelled of it after the shower and the shirt still smelled of it after the wash. I do remember being mostly just baffled by it ... wondered since then if I had just over-sprayed it or if it really is weird. Thanks for weighing in.
I adore this house. Since you asked, I would love for you to review Romanza. I think that narcissus is a difficult note for many as it can veer into barnyard territory. For me, Masque Milano manages to capture it beautifully and Romanza teeters on the edge of beauty without becoming too pretty nor too intentionally confrontational.
Great review. From the ones I’ve tried, I think I liked Tango the best but I need to give it a full wearing. You should check it out. It’s kind of a spicy ambery woody aromatic.
Great video Peter! It seems like a fair house - decent (pending what is discovered about sillage and longevity) quality for a reasonable price. Of the ones you went through, I was quite intrigued by Romanza. It sounds like something I could enjoy. Therefore, it goes on the try it list. :) Have you tried Xerjoff Kobe yet? (It is listed as a recommendation for Hemingway lovers.) If so, what were your thoughts? If not, perhaps it should be added to your review list. Thanks for the introduction to Masque Milano! :)
@@FragranceView Great that you are going to put Romanza on your full review list. I didn't request it because it wasn't one you particularly liked for yourself. Thanks for making this viewer happy! :)
Masque Milano is one of my favourite houses recently, I have a bottle of Russian Tea, I adore L'Attesa, really need that in my collection, Mandala is different and I love it for it, Montecristo and Tango are both ones I'm looking to add as well, and perhaps even Hemingway; I'm not huge of vetivert at the forefront of a fragrance but I'll make an exception for this if I've already collected the rest.
I was hoping there would be a video after watching you go through them on Live. I like when you describe things in texture, haha. Thanks for the video! x
Thanks!! It took me a little while to get to them, I am always put off doing long first impressions of a full line, it's hard to make the video interesting.. but it serves a purpose to let people know what's what in the whole line!
You’re doing something right because 28 minutes went by really fast and I didn’t even realize it was that long until people mentioned it. Thanks for getting the info out to us, really helpful!
Excellent first impressions 😃 I only own L'Attesa but I'm an orris nutball at core. I get a lot of gingery-ish fizz off my skin (I think it's that 'champagne note). You've just gave me the idea to test it on paper to see if I get more iris overdose. Sadly I don't detect Mysore sandalwood in the drydown (what a bummer!) I can't agree with Romanza personally. I can't pinpoint why but there's something nauseous about it. Tango seems like something I would like but there's a scratchy woody note in the base which irritates my nose. Beautiful fragrance otherwise. Looking forward to your full reviews whichever you end up choosing 😊
The perfume blogger Kafkaesque noted that there's a lot of Amber Xtreme or some thing that smells like it in Mandala. And of I remember Luca saying the amber is synthetic in this one. Maybe that's what is bothering you?
It could very well be, I don't own Amber Xtreme so I've no idea what that smells like! I am sensitive to certain synthetics like that though, so it's probably the case
"And here we have an example of the half hour video in one of it's natural habits. Notice it's well rounded, full plumage and its deep burrowing nature. Indeed, predators are oft bored after less than 5 minutes and skulk back off to the land of *bAnTeR* to scavange low hanging, cheap sponsorsed fruit*
Wow sorry guys, I think I walked into a private conversation. Mitch you little scallywag, stop ribbing Pete, support him, this is his passion and he definitely has a nose for the business. Anyway.... All the best. Ciao.
Been eyeing Russian Tea from this house so thanks for the overview as well as for the upcoming full reviews of Russian Tea and Hemingway. Is the incense in Mandala more potent than Interlude?
It's a different kind of scent profile to Interlude... totally different incense, this one is heavily based in Frankincense, Interlude is quite a mix of all sorts.. in terms of sheer power, the opening of this one is stronger than Interlude though from top notes, but I doubt it will match longevity and projection of the blue beast though
The bottles are quite pretty. I’ve been interested in trying some from the brand/house for a while, but still haven’t. I’m trying not to buy more fragrances this year, so I may be sampling a lot less...hoping I won’t want as much if I don’t try much. I’ll be looking out for full reviews of the ones you decide to do.
Oh Peter ..I might just have to try these samples ,I should be saving now (for a certain new house )and just ordered two from Oliver and co !! I have no will power.
I'm wearing Hemingway currently, it was a birthday present to myself, my first niche cologne purchase. I love it, but it is powerful. It works well with dress clothes, or a rugged sweater or sport jacket. I tried wearing it with a tie dye shirt and shorts and it felt out of place.
Sounds very interesting never heard of this brand but everything you said I want to try and order 1. Russian Tea 2. Tango 3 L’Attesa Maybe if I like one something new to own I want you to review Russian tea how long do it last how many compliments you get thanks have bless day
To be fair, all though it's obvious to most people from the name, I've watched a lot of people not have a clue where major cities are.... believe me when I say not everyone knows Milan is a city in Italy lol. A lot of peoples geography and general knowledge is terrible.
L'Attesa is probably THE BEST iris fragrance. Definitely worth a test for iris lovers. Luci ed Ombre is borderline repulsive to my nose with the leather and tuberose combo. It is similar to ELDO's Vierges et Toreros.
L'Attesa is probably the best Iris fragrance available that is under 1000 euros (L'Iris de Fath), Iris Silver Mist is also pretty good and so is Narciso Rodriguez's Essence, but L'Attesa is my favourite. I really dislike Luci ed Ombre...or, it's just rather simple and boring but I don't find it anything like Vierges et Toreros, I really like the leather and labdanum in the ELDO.
Great video! I was sooooo close to picking up Hemingway as a blind buy, but I caved and got a small sample. Lucky I did because once the leather poked it's head out, it went SUPER skanky on my skin and not in a good way at all, it was stomach turning. Such a shame, the opening was lovely though and I really enjoyed the vetiver. I bet it would be killer on someone's skin that isn't me!
Oh, as an aside, not sure it's cool to say where I got my sample of Hemingway from, but when I ordered it, they sent me through a couple of other samples that were in the same ballpark. One was Noble Royale - Majistueux Vetiver. Absolutely beautiful vetiver, but a pretty steep price tag.
oh really ? damn, I guess it comes out in the dry down ? I didn't smell the leather from testing first impressions.. I'll see how it goes for me. I looked it up, looks like an Arabic brand going off the bottle design. There's a few decent vetiver scents, the Fredderic Malle one is worth a sniff too
@@FragranceView Oh nice one, I've never smelt much of FM offerings, I'll keep an eye out for sure, I love pretty much everything vetiver. As for Hemingway, I tossed it my dads way when I saw him last and it smelt fine on him, I dunno why it disagreed with me so much! I'd definitely be curious about a full review of that one though and the Russian Tea. It was someone raving about Russian Tea that initially turned me onto this house but I've yet to try it out.
Hemingway with its vetiver sounds very appealing, I loved vetiver essential oil, used to wear it undilluted on my wrist, and not so long ago ordered a sample of a vetiver monster perfume (according to the fragrantica reviews)) Nebbia Densa... Hmm.. what can I say? It smells of well and trully Ukrainian borsch to me. Which is for anyone else who hasn't had it smells strongly of sweet peppers, tomatoes and garlic.. As for longevity, it is a MONSTER, i couldn't wash it off! No vetiver sadness that is though..
Strange lights? Yes. Underground levels, I did not hear about or see any, BUT, that does not mean they where not there. As, there was/is an underground bunker in High Wycombe, that we used, but it was for a fallout shelter/Command Center in case of a Nuclear attack. As Yankee Nuclear weapons where every where back in the day. I was also at R.A.F Greenham Common, among others.
Some pretty interesting stories around those bases, seems like they had some interesting visitors checking out the nuclear weapons there. I'd have like to have been able to see what went on there back then..
I think for a straight up Tea based scent, it does what it says on the tin... but it's certainly not complex or dynamic, just depends what you're after in a scent I suppose!
The Dangerous Goods shipments from the UK are quite expensive... so I am not sure anyone will want to pay the shipping costs, I am hoping someone like LuckyScent will buy from me more in bulk, and people in the US can buy there instead...
FragranceView I know I for one hope so Either way I will have to save up I have decided I am going to wait to buy any new fragrance until I at least see what you make Even to just support you Have been watching from afar for about the past week and I must have watched like 50 of your videos And you are easily one of my favorite channels overall now And definitely my favorite fragrance channel I have seen And I respect you so much on a personal level for staying true to you You know what you like And what you don’t like And you don’t pander to the thirsty TH-camr mentality You’re an artist And hope that it all pays off for you at the end of the day Because you deserve that much at least Your passion radiates through the screen Very knowledgeable And I know how much time and energy that takes when you love something so much Not to mention the $ investment learning all of your notes and trial and error being self taught Sorry if that’s a bit too wordy And doesn’t make total sense It’s 6 AM here and I am still up watching videos But Just trying to voice that you have impacted my life a good bit so far this year and are inspiring me And I didn’t want to go by forever and not say anything Lots of layers to you and facets in those layers Watching Q and A videos and back story Your success story WILL BE one I look forward to seeing the journey of Cheers sir :)

Just as an idea it would be awesome if you could start doing single ingredient videos, or "fragrance fundamentals", where you focus on just a single ingredient like ambergris, or rose, or oudh (like you've done), or vanilla, etc. every week or something. That would be an interesting exploration, and be great for making content.
you mean just describing the one scent by it's self ? or to include a list of fragrances that use the note ?
FragranceView this would be really informative, imo. For example- I’d like to know the different types of synth musk/white musk. There’s some that give me a headache and some I can’t even smell. And it seems to be used in almost everything nowadays.
Some other examples would be the different types of vanilla, Omani Frankincense vs Ethiopian, the scent profiles of various sandalwoods(including synthetics like javanol). Or why Iris has such a wide scent profile?
Another would be the various types of bergamot. I’ve read it can be derived from a few different citrus peels(grapefruit, lime, etc), but it’s also it’s own fruit (bergamot orange)? Bergamot has always confused me.
Would also love to delve into violets/violet leaves. That’s an ingredient that really intrigues me

I really dislike Luci ed Ombre...or, it's just rather simple and boring but I don't find it anything like Vierges et Toreros, I really like the leather and labdanum in the ELDO.
Great video! I was sooooo close to picking up Hemingway as a blind buy, but I caved and got a small sample. Lucky I did because once the leather poked it's head out, it went SUPER skanky on my skin and not in a good way at all, it was stomach turning. Such a shame, the opening was lovely though and I really enjoyed the vetiver. I bet it would be killer on someone's skin that isn't me!
Oh, as an aside, not sure it's cool to say where I got my sample of Hemingway from, but when I ordered it, they sent me through a couple of other samples that were in the same ballpark. One was Noble Royale - Majistueux Vetiver. Absolutely beautiful vetiver, but a pretty steep price tag.
oh really ? damn, I guess it comes out in the dry down ? I didn't smell the leather from testing first impressions.. I'll see how it goes for me. I looked it up, looks like an Arabic brand going off the bottle design. There's a few decent vetiver scents, the Fredderic Malle one is worth a sniff too
@@FragranceView Oh nice one, I've never smelt much of FM offerings, I'll keep an eye out for sure, I love pretty much everything vetiver. As for Hemingway, I tossed it my dads way when I saw him last and it smelt fine on him, I dunno why it disagreed with me so much! I'd definitely be curious about a full review of that one though and the Russian Tea. It was someone raving about Russian Tea that initially turned me onto this house but I've yet to try it out.
Hemingway with its vetiver sounds very appealing, I loved vetiver essential oil, used to wear it undilluted on my wrist, and not so long ago ordered a sample of a vetiver monster perfume (according to the fragrantica reviews)) Nebbia Densa... Hmm.. what can I say? It smells of well and trully Ukrainian borsch to me. Which is for anyone else who hasn't had it smells strongly of sweet peppers, tomatoes and garlic.. As for longevity, it is a MONSTER, i couldn't wash it off! No vetiver sadness that is though..
Interesting!
I was stationed at R.A.F Bentwaters.
Did you happen to be there in the 1980's ?
1988/89
Did you ever see any strange lights flying around or hear any chit chat of secret underground levels to the base while you were there?
Strange lights? Yes. Underground levels, I did not hear about or see any, BUT, that does not mean they where not there. As, there was/is an underground bunker in High Wycombe, that we used, but it was for a fallout shelter/Command Center in case of a Nuclear attack. As Yankee Nuclear weapons where every where back in the day. I was also at R.A.F Greenham Common, among others.
Some pretty interesting stories around those bases, seems like they had some interesting visitors checking out the nuclear weapons there. I'd have like to have been able to see what went on there back then..
La única que he probado ha sido Montecristo, y me gusta mucho. Un saludo Peter.
Gracias mi amigo
My fave is Tango.
Cheers
Thank you for this review. It helped me differentiate between the masculine and feminine. Great review!
one of the best reviews, makes you one of the best reviewers.
I love these. Wouldn’t buy all of them but I love a few
There's a couple of nice ones, not all are fully my taste, but I appreciate what they're doing.. pricing is on point too for a change.
FragranceView I haven’t finished your video yet but if I buy one. It’ll be L’Atessa. Russian Tea really disappointed me.
I think for a straight up Tea based scent, it does what it says on the tin... but it's certainly not complex or dynamic, just depends what you're after in a scent I suppose!

Is there an oat note in perfumery?
Not that I am aware of...
@@FragranceView th-cam.com/video/oDHpENlv1WU/w-d-xo.html
I will trade you 10,000 galaxies
@@FragranceView empty inside, that is no surprise. U are always hungry, to give u oats is unwise
@J .S tell him that "punished" isn't trying to steal or plagiarise his work. He is saving them for posterity
When I first smell Romanza it is disgusting, but I want a bottle. The opening smells like urine. Don't know why.
haha
Peter, Will you ship to the U.S., when you perfume line is for sale ? Love the online chats. Thanks Ruth
The Dangerous Goods shipments from the UK are quite expensive... so I am not sure anyone will want to pay the shipping costs, I am hoping someone like LuckyScent will buy from me more in bulk, and people in the US can buy there instead...
FragranceView I know I for one hope so
Either way
I will have to save up
I have decided I am going to wait to buy any new fragrance until I at least see what you make
Even to just support you
Have been watching from afar for about the past week and I must have watched like 50 of your videos
And you are easily one of my favorite channels overall now
And definitely my favorite fragrance channel I have seen
And I respect you so much on a personal level for staying true to you
You know what you like
And what you don’t like
And you don’t pander to the thirsty TH-camr mentality
You’re an artist
And hope that it all pays off for you at the end of the day
Because you deserve that much at least
Your passion radiates through the screen
Very knowledgeable
And I know how much time and energy that takes when you love something so much
Not to mention the $ investment learning all of your notes and trial and error being self taught
Sorry if that’s a bit too wordy
And doesn’t make total sense
It’s 6 AM here and I am still up watching videos
But
Just trying to voice that you have impacted my life a good bit so far this year and are inspiring me
And I didn’t want to go by forever and not say anything
Lots of layers to you and facets in those layers
Watching Q and A videos and back story
Your success story WILL BE one I look forward to seeing the journey of
Cheers sir
:)
Thank you Micheal that's very kind of you! I appreciate it!
FragranceView yes sir . I hope so . I appreciate you taking the time to reply . Do you have a PayPal account?
/ have you ever thought about doing Patreon? Or something like that to help the channel financially . If that’s an option just let me know . Would like to be able contribute what I can when I can . Cheers
I don't have a Patreon no, I appreciate the kindness... but I don't want to take money from anybody, thank you for the thought though!
I own Latessa and Russian tea from these guys. Awesome house
Glad you enjoy them!
Absynthe? Isnt that banned? It contains thujone
I was meaning Wormwood which I own, which is used in Absinth accords
Everlasting flower ..perfume should ever last
No doubt
try it on skin - you'll feel the animal inside
The scent of lipstick is vomit hell.
lol
Says the man named ‘smart fart’...
well it's better than a stupid fart ?
Tried any Henri Jacques? I'd love to smell some so i can be *iRaTE* at the cost
I have not no!
lol @ iris on steroids
